Ingredients
- – 1-2 chicken breasts (225-450g), *see notes
- – 1/2 tsp (3 ml) garlic powder
- – 1/2 tsp (3 ml) salt
- – 1/4 tsp (1 ml) pepper
- – 1/2 tsp (3 ml) red pepper flakes, *optional
- – 1/2 tsp (3 ml) dried oregano
- – 1/2 tsp (3 ml) vegetable oil
- – 2-3 Tbsp (38 ml) spinach walnut pesto, *see notes, more as needed
- – 2 flatbreads, *see notes
- – 1/2 cup (120 ml) spinach walnut pesto
- – 3/4 cup (180 ml) shredded mozzarella
- – 1/4 cup (60 ml) tomatoes, sliced
- – red pepper flakes, optional
- – grated Parmesan, optional
Instructions
- If you are preparing spinach walnut pesto, make this first. Otherwise, dice the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. Combine the seasonings in a separate small bowl, then sprinkle over the chicken and mix thoroughly. Heat 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a skillet or pan, then cook the chicken, stirring frequently, for about 12-15 minutes or until thoroughly cooked.
- While the chicken is cooking, preheat the oven to 375°F. Add approximately 2 tablespoons of pesto to the skillet with the chicken, stirring to coat the chicken with the flavor. Reduce the heat to low, let it simmer for 2 minutes, then turn off the heat and set aside.
- Place the flatbreads onto a baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of pesto evenly over the bread, then layer with shredded mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, and finally, the prepared chicken.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven for around 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted, is bubbly, and the crust has a slight golden hue. Allow it to cool for a minute or two, then slice and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- Opt for whole wheat flatbreads to boost fiber and nutrients.
- Customize with veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Experiment with cheeses like feta or goat cheese for a unique touch.
